I shouldn’t be on Linux, I don’t know anything about computers. This is why Windows is the safer bet.
Whenever linux has a big sercurity issue, its a big deal. whenever windows has a big security issue, its just another tuesday.
That should tell you that windows systems are targeted much more.
True, but that’s the point.
Linux isn’t safer because it’s more secure, it’s safer because no one writing malware is going to target only 4% of the market when they could write malware for 60% of the market.
In real life the biggest issue is almost always whether or not you as a user update your software regularly after security issues have been discovered and the fixes are rolled out. That includes your operating system.
I am pretty positive you don’t lack the skillset do manage that on the majority of mainstream Linux distros. It’s about as hard as opening your browser on most.
Obviously stick with the OS you think fits your usecase best, though.
